"Vanagonowners"  It's just the name I've been searching for!  : )

I've made a little tool out of thick (like 1/8", way thicker than a coat
hanger) wire that's shaped a little like a 'C'.  One end is the handle that I
pull on and the other end goes into the little hole in the metal boot shield.
 I'll attempt to draw (please don't laugh):

I just stick it in, pull on it and off she comes!
